Plowing 2' DEEP Snow w/ AWD GMC C7000 Dump Truck

hey everybody so welcome back to north fork i'm derek thanks for joining us today so today we got a lot of snow so um i just got the truck started here maybe about a half hour ago it's been sitting there idling warming up i'll pull the battery charger off and uh we'll see if we can start plowing some snow got about two feet here last night and uh yeah it's quite a quite a big snowstorm for us so this area it uh set the record for the largest snowfall ever in the past in two days so while we've had more snow over winters one for a one or two day total this is a pretty pretty big snowfall so i'm pretty excited to get plowing i love the snow and i we love just playing in it and enjoying it outside when it's like this and so yeah let's see if we can get elvis to do some plowing [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] so that was one thing that i didn't do getting elvis ready was put chains on it and it's biting me now uh [Applause] all right i got the tires dug out a little bit and uh some ashes on it a little bit see if we can get out of here uh not how i thought it was gonna go i didn't make it very far got down the driveway a little bit and i stopped to move the camera and just got stuck i got a little bit off the side and my big downfall is i didn't put chains on when i was getting ready a couple days ago there's just too much other stuff to do and i just didn't get to the put the chains on the dump truck i thought man we're not gonna get that much i won't need it here i am we need it so let's uh see if we can drive back out of here and keep plowing and so i stopped to move the camera and that was that was not the right thing to do so if i get plowing i'm just going to keep plowing i'm just going to make a path that way i can get in and out and then we'll go back and widen it from there so see if we can get out of here well that didn't work oh yeah there we go i thought i'd try one last time i think we got something all right let's see if we can uh get the flower now [Applause] sorry about that it's a little bumpy in here but just trying to concentrate on plowing that's a lot of snow all right we'll pick back up later on i'm just gonna keep plowing i'm not stopping all right so uh we're on our way back we made one pass down cleaned out the bottom a little bit uh down by the main road and now we're on our way back see i just made one track through i didn't even really plow right down to the bottom but now i get the plow dropped all the way we're making another pass we're gonna have to make several passes down through here today just all right so i just stopped for lunch got a bite to eat help with the house and uh so now we're back down here at the truck still got more power to do to widen up the road um but two things that are going on one i decided to put chains on i don't think there's any way that i'm going to make it back up that driveway without chains on it so i got the front chains here sitting here so i'm going to jack it up put the chains on and uh hopefully that'll give me more traction that i can make it back up to the driveway and finish plowing in the driveway out and up around the house second thing is i broke a belt for the power steering pump so i noticed the power steering was getting real tight when i was out plowing around the mailboxes at the end of our road and i stopped to the neighbors i thought maybe i was low on fluid checked and the belt had broke so i don't have an extra bell i even tried taking one off of the band saw i don't have an extra belt so i can still steer it it's just really really tough i basically have to be moving slow in order to steer so it's not easy um but we'll we'll get it done um so i'm gonna go ahead and put the chains on here and we'll catch up in a minute all right so we're making the last pass on the road here hopefully it should be wide enough sorry about all the noise in there but it's about as wide as i can get it there's some places that are down so it should belt off pretty well here really hard to steer so it's uh it's been a bear for sure so i still gotta clean the driveway up and up by the house and everything uh the chains are definitely helping i got the neighbors stuck out i got the end of the road by the mailboxes all dug out uh i'm gonna try to go up past our road a little bit to get to the other driveway so i can get the backhoe out and do some final cleanup so we'll catch up with you a little bit later and see how we're making out all right so we're back up at the house there's the truck i ended up breaking a hydraulic line on the way back so i wasn't able to use my left and right um so a lot of equipment issues today uh hydraulic line power steering belt um i didn't have the chains on so live and learn uh you know we we got plowed out uh there is some some stuff i got to clean up here um be able to uh get in and out of the driveway or the garage and stuff so overall not too bad for having two feet of snow but tomorrow's another day we can get this stuff cleaned up uh it's almost supper time here so just been all day moving snow around and uh yeah hopefully we can get the equipment fixed get the rest of this cleaned up and we'll be good to go so thanks for watching we'll catch you in the next one okay you were funny she did you
